If there's such a thing as moral victories, this was a moral loss.

 

[az240zz]

How do you figure? It was ugly, so what? We still won.

 

[Proximo]

Holy crap what a horrible inbound.

lucky is an understatement

 

[Finito]

Jesus that was the worst 5 minutes to end a game I’ve seen this year.

just dumb possessions and bad passes all over the place

why was Craig in the game instead of Ayton or Saric? I thought Ayton was playing well tonight

 

[Proximo]

Suns had no business winning this.

they were putrid.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns really needed Craig today with Crowder only with 2 and Cam Johnson with 0 points.

Crowder was 0-9 today... all threes.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Losing would have been ugly but the way we've played for most of the past month or so, no win is ugly IMO.

 

[Finito]

Cam 0-6
Crowder 0-9
Saric 1-5
Payne 2-6

yikes this was ugly but the W

nah. We didn’t play well, early game, against a team over .500 playing well and we won on the road? Was it frustrating, sure. But it’s a solid W when all that matters this season is getting this team into the playoffs and getting some experience.

It’s clear to me they’re not a legit title contender, but that’s fine for this year where they just need to get the experience of winning period and then getting some playoff seasoning.

that says it’s still blatantly obvious thru need another legit shot maker/creator and big man.

also, Monty has to get CP3 the ball more down the stretch. Booker ball just doesn’t cut it.

There's no way we could be counted on to throw that ball away with decent spacing so we had to have Craig and 0 for 9 Crowder out there to leave Booker hanging on the double team. We may not have played well but we definitely coached stupid.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns with only 21 points from the bench. Hornets had 28 from reserves.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Sounds like I was lucky I had to leave with a minute plus left in OT

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank Kaminsky needs to get some minutes.

 

[Carolinacacti]

The Board finally agrees on sometime. That game was Ugly

 

[Proximo]

lf I was a suns player after that performance I would be questioning if the team was actually any good.

pretty sure that’s what he means.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have been in a funk since the Magic game. They need to figure a way out of it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hawks visit on Tuesday. Suns need to play much better to win.

Shouldn’t it be a morale loss?

Suns have been in a funk since the Magic game. They need to figure out a way to get out of it.

They need to work inside out. The 3’s aren’t falling, so getting to the rim is the best medication for that ailing confidence. Most notably for Cam, Saric, and Crowder.

 

[Muggz]

Remember the Suns of the past 10 years? Enjoy the UGLY win.

Our first OT win (we needed this).

The Suns are now the best road team in the NBA.

Charlotte was on a 7 game home win streak. They brought it and we survived.

Ill take it.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Good teams get those ugly wins.

That's the problem. The Suns are having trouble getting inside aside from Booker and Bridges on drives.

Ayton disappeared offensively down the stretch.

 

[gimpy]

We were really sloppy with the ball, I thought. They applied good pressure on the ball,l forced us to make a couple of really stupid turnovers.
